White's Boots

[Bluegrass]

I'm no expert but here is a start - others will comment/clarify for sure…

Smoke-Jumper - the "standard"/base White's last - a "squarish" toe shape
Semi-Dress - has a lower profile than the SJ, "rounder" toe shape
Bounty Hunter is a SJ style boot built with a SD last
Western - pointier/slimmer toe (Packer)
C641 - SD last with a more upturned toe (you can get this last on a number of boots incl. Classic Dress, and Americana/retro too I think)
Cougar/Northwest - not sure on that one.

I've called White's several times and even they don't give good descriptions of the different lasts. It would be helpful if they showed the toe shape on their models. The soles are also quite confusing. If you order single leather sole with vibram 700 or commando…you get a double leather sole...or at least what looks and feels like one. Go figure!!!

Here are the whites I've been sporting lately…

Killer with the pimped 70

[Seul]

Love those, z!..

[zhivago]

Thanks! I went the way of doing a full custom
fit at a local retailer here in CO but for the actual boot build up I wanted to keep it really simple, and classic. I'm super pleased with how they came out.

[Seul]

Waxed leather?..

[Megatron1505]

Very nice Z-Diddy, total classic look.

[natehate]

yeah those are nice z

[Moonshine]

Good stuff, Z!  What are the specs?

[zhivago]

I did hit em with some ubernaufs right outta the gate.

Ahh, specs, they are whites SD and I'll have to dig around a bit for the rest. Brown leather, it's smooth…oh yeah and there is a toe cap. I know that much. I just went in had a really nice gal trace my feet, take some measurements and said ok build me a boot.

In all seriousness  though, I did pick out the leather but off the top of my head I am forgetting which one it is. I'll figure it out soon-ish.

[zhivago]

semi-distressed cow hide
vibram composition sole
SD heel

like I said, I was going for about as basic as you can get.

[Seul]

Well - you spec'ed out a great looking pair… Enjoy 'm z!..

[zhivago]

Thank you sir, that means very little coming from you…

[Seul]

I hereby sincerely hope a cat with a bladder infection pisses in both of 'm.

[madmonday]

why the puss got to have a bladder infection, thats some bull, hahahaha

[Seul]

I reckon that'd smell even worse… It's all in the details, mad'un...

[zhivago]

Not much could smell worse than my feet Seul but that's a whole other issue…

[Seul]

makes a mental note never to buy shoes from z

For Bluegrass & Co, to give you an idea of standard Smoke Jumper last shape against Semi Dress last toe shape:

Semi Dress last shape:

I will be having quite a lot of detailed info/ shots on the custom part of the website with regards to all the options White's offers including info about the various lasts etc….within the month. Meant as a custom aid but I'm sure it will be a handy resource in general.

Cheers.
